ELAC Discovery streamer and Disqovery Q music server.

[Hifi_swlon]

After my initial excitement, I found the post below from Danny (one of the founders of Roon) on the Roon forum.  Essentially its a slimmed down server, so missing some nice features. Pretty disappointing and I've ruled it out now, especially since I now have a lifetime membership…..

Just to be clear about Elac's upcoming product, the Discovery is designed to be a self-contained device, and has a built-in limited version of Roon Server installed on it. It won't have all of Roon's features like lyrics, DSD and high-resolution formats, or the ability to stream to PCs, AirPlay speakers, and Roon Ready devices from our partners. The license is tied to the device rather than to you as a customer, so it's not a Roon Lifetime license, either.

The purpose of our partnership with Elac is to provide a simple, turn key version of the Roon experience, but there will always be features in our Annual and Lifetime memberships that are only available by upgrading.
